Well, what a mess! Finally it's building successfully and even managed to do
some cleanups.
Probably most people might be wondering why I'm doing a port of Unity to Nix
while I personally don't use and/or even like it. The main reason is because I
tried to introduce someone to Nix and NixOS who actively uses Unity and doesn't
want to switch to something more sane^H^H^H^Hlightweight.
So let me introduce him: @gradel
He will be the new maintainer of the Unity desktop packages in Nix and I'm going
to mentor him during this process.
Enough about introduction, there still is a lot of work to do:
* Improve directory structure of pkgs/desktop/unity.
* Add more packages to propagatedBuildInputs to keep things DRY.
* Maybe clean up my GIR compiler patch.
* Add an update script to update all that stuff at once.
* Separate the ugly sed hacks into nice clean patches.
* Check build warnings and maybe fix them instead of removing -Werror.
* Add missing dependencies.
* Add missing meta information (I pretty much omitted about all of them).
* The packages ibus, libgee and PackageKit obviously don't belong to unity,
move them to the right locations.
And the biggest TODO:
Actually *test* it, as it is only UnityCore, I presume there is quite a bunch of
packages missing at this point.

Unity needs at least version 3.4, so let's just update to the latest version.
We're gonna extensively test this branch either so we can fix other packages
that depend on gtk3 as well, if it should be needed. Luckily there are just a
few of those.

This package consists of actually two packages:
* at-spi-core: The core library
* at-spi-atk: The atk-bridging library
The latter depends on the core library and is needed by unity, so watch out for
further buildInputs :-)

The normal "install" target only copies libglew and nothing more, no glewinfo,
no visualinfo and no GLEWmx libraries. This is now longer the case.

Some packages tend to look into $out/lib only, which is the default in Nix
anyway as we don't need that lib32/lib64 separation.

GIR is needed in order to build some vala-specific stuff in unity and/or its
various dependencies. I'm not sure whether we want to enable GIR by default, so
I'm leaving it optional right now.

Now the respective GIR paths should be set automatically when packages are using
gobjectIntrospection as a dependency.

Allow to set a NIX_GIR_PATH environment variable which can be used to set a
search PATH for .gir files, where consecutive paths are separated by colons.
The implementation in compiler.c is very ugly and far from DRY, but I'm not an
expert with glib. So don't hesitate to improve things here if you have the
patience I definitely didn't have.
